TAN Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's son-in-law Datuk Seri Muhammad Adlan Berhan who is wanted by the MACC is allegedly living the high life in the Middle East.
In an exclusive report, The New Straits Times said Adlan, who has been on the run for over two years, has allegedly even made overseas trips to Thailand for golf and visits to a shooting range.
Photographs shared with NST showed Adlan in the company of several Middle Eastern dignitaries.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had in the past said Adlan was residing in a country that does not have extradition arrangements with Malaysia.
Adlan, 49, left for New Zealand on May 17, 2023 not long after his father-in-law was hit with several corruption charges.
His lawyer, Mansoor Saat, 70, left for Jakarta four days after Adlan, and has been on the run ever since.
Mansoor also faces criminal breach of trust allegations related to the National Enforcement and Registration (Biometrics) System (NERS).
The project was financed through a RM595 million sukuk.
NERS was meant to enhance national security through biometric data collection. But investigations revealed that almost RM50 million in proceeds from temporary work visit pass collections — funds meant for sukuk repayment — were misappropriated.
MACC had linked Adlan and Mansoor to the case, which they classified under Section 409 of the Penal Code.
In the past, both have issued statements through their lawyers denying they were on the run to escape prosecution.
MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (Operations) Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya said the commission began its probe on March 13, 2023 after a complaint was lodged.
Last Thursday, A-G Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar said investigations into Adlan had been completed and instructions for prosecution had been issued. – October 23, 2025
